Cheerleading
OK so i just graduated 8th grade and am going into my freshmen year. I did cheerleading when I was 7 up to when i was 12. I was the best on my team.
I have been having practices at the HS I'm going into and I don't feel like I'm good enough.
The other girls can do so much more than me. I was a flyer all my life and I can't do half the stunts that they do.
I can't get my jumps high enough and I don't know why.
Tryouts are right around the corner and I want more than anything to make the team.
Help?!?!?! please!!!

You've been on a middle school team all your life. It will take some getting used to moving up to a HS team. They don't expect you to get all this your first day.
The stunts and jumps will come to you in time with practice. When you get home, do jump stretches like leg rolls, and leg kicks to get your jumps higher. Practice the stunts on chairs.
Also like, LOL said, Be Confident.
When you are a cheerleader, confidence is key. (I'm cheering my fifth year on a HS team now)
Stay after practice and ask the coaches or captains for help. They will notice how dedicated you are. That will also help you =]
Good Luck & Practice, Practice, Practice!

All you can do is try your best. Just practice, and BE CONFIDENT!
If the coaches see a nervous girl who doesn't believe in herself, they won't even give you half as good a chance as the girl who walks in confidently, believing in herself.
So keep practicing, and believe in yourself. Say to yourself, "I can do this!", and you'll look a lot better than if you're saying something along the lines of, "That jump was horrible." or "This is going to be bad."
Good Luck =]
